Any suspected Aspie celebrities??

I would agree Bush has some kind of language disorder, probably some type of agrammatism, because he seems to make syntactic errors more than anything else.

Here's my short list of confirmed "famous" aspies:
Heather Kuzmich from ANTM (cycle ?)
Darryl Hannah (read an interview where she said AS almost ruined her career)
Gary Numan (at least self-diagnosed)


a few historical characters who've been thoroughly post-analyzed as aspies: Isaac Newton, Einstein and Wittgenstein

Sinead O'Connor. She is so intense, she is non-intergrated in her identity, she is completely unmoved by social convention. She comes from a background of severe trauma and has a bi-polar diagnosis but I think she could very well be on the spectrum. The whole thing of ripping up the pope's photo without being able to foresee the effect it would have is something that could be seen as aspie, I really have a big blank with predicting outcomes or how things will effect people.

Crispin Glover.

Crispin Glover and his long lost brother, Viggo Mortensen (seriously they look a lot alike). Now, Crispin has been mentioned in other topics (and this one), but Viggo's been neglected. I just think the way VM doesn't care about fame and makes the kinds of movies he likes rather than ones that will make him a "star" says something. And also, he tends to fixate on things (like sports teams, politics), gets really intense into roles, and that he's not just an actor but also an artist and poet. There's a kind of indecisiveness that I'm not sure is indicative of anything... but....

Eh. Just throwing it out there. I've seen him in interviews and he comes across as all too familiar.

Viggo Mortensen... perhaps because of the types he plays, this one has never occurred to me, but there could be something to that. I'm going to go look up some interviews.

it would be funny if Keanu Reeves was on the spectrum, talk about flat effect...
